Hmm no reviews on this tv need to pick up a new tv for my sis but I my current Sharp has a horrible grey line down the middle of the screen that is apparently a known fault. Not sure I want to go for another Sharp.

Picked up my parents an LG 42" plasma from the Aintree store on sunday for £300 as they had a friends and family day. Only downside I could see is that it's only 720p but not that my parents will notice anyway

I just can't decide if it is worth the battle to get something at the Liverpool opening. Think I would need to be getting a few things at about half price to take it on having seen first hand the madness round here for a crumby Next sale

anyone know if you need to be a member or something to get in, like with costco? i dont want to go all the way to liverpool just to find i need to join (unless i can join on the spot, but i wouldnt want to pay a fee so would still be a wasted trip)

No, you don't need to join. It's just a normal store where you can walk in & buy stuff.

For Friday's opening. Yes you do. A mental institution. Or you have travelled down on a £1 National Express coach.

It looks suspiciously like a low end vestel set just bought into their range for a basic entry set. They used to do this with CRT sets buying in low end vestel models. Frankly some of the supermarket models are better than this as they are 1080p and sell for similar money. Don't be surprised if it has Made in Turkey on the back.

I would be surprised if it had Turkey on the back as the one I bought in May from BestBuy has 'Made in Japan' on the back.

For £199 its decent and you can connect a USB drive and record onto it which is a useful feature. The only drawback is just 2 HDMI sockets so once you have a DVD and Sky Plus connected you need to use component if you want more than SD.

Thats very impressive. If you download pdf manuals from the sharp site you normally find where they claim to be printed is also the country of origin for the whole set and most of these sets are coming out of Spain and Poland. Some of the bottom end sets seem near identical to vestel designs. Even if not assembled in turkey I wouldn't be surprised if they are assembled in poland using a vestel circuit board and psu. However thats certainly not the case if this model is manufactured in Japan. Seems like a bargain for a japanese made set.

Thought I would mention I just went today (Saturday) really good store. Had loads of decent deals. I bought this TV today at 12:30pm they had hundreds left. You pay for it at the till then you go out to a tent at the back where the TV is held. When I collected mine there must off been more than 300 of these TV's left. So if anyone is planning on getting this tv now is your chance.
